Touch of Fate
The Last Prayer
The hair of the woman kneeling by the headstone blows in the wind, her eyes are fixed on the ground, her mouth half-open in a silent prayer. But the wax dripping from her cold blue lips shows it’s already too late to save her…
On her first day back with the Denton police force after a severe trauma, Detective Josie Quinn is searching for a missing woman, Krystal Duncan, the mother of one of the five children who died in a tragic school bus accident two years ago. Just a few hours later, Josie finds Krystal’s body next to her daughter's grave.
Krystal and the other parents of the deceased children had been meeting in a support group. As soon as Josie and her team start to look into the individual mourners, they discover that each of them is hiding a secret – but whose secret is worth killing for? When the body of another young mother is found near the site of the bus accident, the case takes a terrifying turn. The support group members are disappearing one by one, and Josie must use every second to save the lives of parents who have already suffered enough…
What they wrote about the book:
Anyone who knows me knows that I really enjoy a strong female lead who isn't afraid to go against the grain. That's exactly what I got in Josie Quinn. I'm eagerly awaiting the next instalment!

A great read, hats off to the author. Better and more thrilling with each book, and even the first one was great. I'm really looking forward to the next perplexing cases with Josie and co.

Lisa Regan
Besides the bestselling series featuring Detective Josie Quinn, Lisa Regan is also the author of other crime thrillers. She is a member of the writers' groups Sisters in Crime, International Thriller Writers, and Mystery Writers of America. She lives in Philadelphia with her husband, daughter, and a Boston terrier named Mr. Phillip.
She gained worldwide attention with the very first instalment in the series featuring investigator Josie Quinn, Vanishing Girls, in which Josie had to deal with a serial killer and kidnapper who had been terrorising the area for years. She followed up on its success with another story, The Girl With No Name, where she had to figure out whether an unknown woman was a witness, a perpetrator, or a future victim. In the third instalment, Her Mother's Grave, Lisa Regan prepared a case for her heroine that forced her to return to her painful past.
In the fourth case, Her Final Confession, she presented the detectives with a perplexing question: how well do they know the people around them and will they stand by their friends, even if everything indicates they have killed? The fifth book in the series, The Bones She Buried, once again puts Josie Quinn and her boyfriend and colleague Noah Fraley at the centre of the action. The first victim, who unleashes a literal killing spree across the county, is Colette Fraley – Noah's mother. The sixth case, Cold-Blooded, also affects Josie personally. It involves the kidnapping of a seven-year-old girl, and finding her is complicated by the fact that her parents aren't telling the detectives the whole truth…
The seventh instalment, Find Her, began with the discovery of a married couple's bodies in the middle of the woods. It's a dark case, and Josie must defeat more than just her own demons to find a way out of the darkness before someone else dies. In the eighth book, Watch Her Disappear, a twisted killer plays with Josie, and she must play for the highest prize – the life of her sister, Trinity, who has become entangled in this dangerous game. Her Deadly Touch then brought her back in memories to high school, and she must use these memories to solve the case.
The tenth instalment of Lisa Regan's series, Breathe Your Last, brings Josie Quinn another complicated case. A series of mysterious deaths has gripped Denton, and only Detective Quinn can see the deadly pattern among them.
